The follow-up to Ridley Scott's 2012 science fiction blockbuster, which was rooted in the world of Alien, has also hired Michael Green to rewrite the original screenplay draft from Jack Paglen (Transcendence).

The Prometheus sequel storyline will reportedly be more in the vein of Scott's first Alien and feature Michael Fassbender playing multiple David androids, reports The Wrap.

Green recently worked with Scott on the script for his Blade Runner sequel. He previously wrote for Smallville and Heroes, and was a co-writer on Green Lantern.

20th Century Fox will release Prometheus ahead of a crowded 2016 blockbuster season, with Batman vs Superman, Captain America 3 and X-Men: Apocalypse due in cinemas.
